Sharing Recipes--Banana Bread

This quick banana bread is one of my favourite comfort foods. It is so versatile and can be eaten at almost anytime of day. If I am in a hurry, I will have a piece of banana bread and a yogurt for breakfast or lunch. It's also a good snack idea when those hunger pangs hit in mid afternoon.

Enjoy!
